“Crazy Eyes” by Poco. Perfect blend of prog-style arrangements, courtesy of Alice Cooper producer Bob Ezrin, with the band’s usual country-rock elements.

Quicksilver Messenger Service – The Fool. Their magnum opus, IMO, and a surprisingly complex tune full of subtleties and unexpected melodic turns.

Cheap Trick—Dream Police
Carpenters—Goodbye to Love (one that they actually received hate mail for, because of the scorching fuzz-guitar solo by Tony Peluso)

Maybe this is more EDM than Prog but it somewhat comes pretty close to Prog to me.                                     And then there is also this IDM type of song which has a guitar part for a few seconds that would fit right in on a Prog Album.

This has always been my fall back tune for referencing prog from a non-prog band. Over 8 minutes long, Spanish and Middle-eastern influences, different time changes, and esoteric lyrics:
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

^Really great song! Also following Desperado is one of my big quite proggy Alice favourites. And also have to mention Unfinished Sweet in Billion Dollar Babies-album with that really great mellotron-part!

I recently made a Youtube Playlist influenced by these type of threads on this site called "Experimental Song by Non-Experimental Artists." http://https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlPFwcS1QpTiEda8b-Fwbg5Fp4B6-3Xwh

This C-Pop Song is EDM but it kind of sounds sort of Proggy to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOs61QlnU9c&index=17&list=PLlPFwcS1QpTiEda8b-Fwbg5Fp4B6-3Xwh&t=0s                                      Also, I think "Pyramids" by Frank Ocean seems to sound very Proggy to me, it's like Alternative R&B meets Prog that's over 9 Minutes long. You don't see that everyday.

Vinnie Moore's 1988 album Time Odyssey is prog-metal before there was such a classificationl. The band on that album is a quartet, with none other than Jordan Rudess on keys (a full decade before he appeared with DT).

Here's the long cut, "Message in a Dream."

^ The interesting(and very telling)thing about that track is that Jordan Rudess plays keyboards on it and the album too. This was way before he joined Dream Theater of course.

^Yes, Jordan's on the whole album, not just that track. And it's a damn good album, too.

All these mentions...and yet not one nod to cockney rebels "Death Trip" which is more proggy than a lot of prog...
